Ballot measure filed to repeal Colorado lawmakers’ open meetings exemptions

KUNC: Colorado voters might have the final say over the state legislature’s decision last month to exempt themselves from parts of the Open Meetings Law. Libertarian activist Jon Caldara has filed a ballot initiative to repeal Senate Bill 157, which allows lawmakers to have more conversations in private.

Democrats who control the legislature passed the bill March 11, and Gov. Jared Polis quickly signed it into law March 12. It went into effect immediately.

Caldara filed his ballot initiative 10 days after the law passed.
